Name: Akiko Okaasan Age: 87 Sex: F Profession: Shaman/Healer Location: Hut in the woods / wandering Affiliations: Healer Disposition: Eccentric, benevolent, somewhat deranged Character Background and Description She refers to herself as mother Akiko, thinking of herself as a benevolent woman who can heal the bumps and scrapes of anyone who comes to see her. Akiko Okaasan is a healer who can be found in the forests of Densetsu. She has a small hut that she lives in, though she can often be seen wandering through the woods, usually to gather ingredients for her remedies. Akiko is a distributor of herbal medicine, with the addition of shamanistic rituals that she claims help the healing process.
Something strange about Akiko is the fact that you don't have to go see her when you get injured, as she will come to you instead. Even if you're out in the forest all by yourself, and scrape your knee on some rocks she'll appear from behind a tree, or or a boulder, or from inside a bush. She doesn't take no for an answer, even if you tell her it's only a scratch she will fuss over the tiniest amount of blood, applying a wide range of herbal remedies to the injury.
She has a flock of bluebirds that she keeps as pets, and some believe that they talk to her, and that's how she knows where to find you if you injure yourself. If you do decide to seek her out on your own, you can buy healing herbs, hallucinogenic herbs, and even unique cooking spices from her. However, the pricing structure is strange, some days she might ask for actual money, but some days just a bit of scrap metal will do, still other days she'll have you complete a task, like climbing a tree and getting the highest pine cone or filling a bucket of water from raindrops that drip from red flowers.
